Dental crowns typically last anywhere between a decade and 15 years, but with excellent care, they can often last much longer. Sometimes they can even last up to 20 years or more! The lifespan of a dental crown depends on several factors, including your oral hygiene habits, the type of material used, and everyday wear and tear. Certain behaviors can shorten the lifespan of your crown:
- Teeth grinding
- Jaw clenching
- Chewing on ice
- Using your teeth as tools
At Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer same-day crowns in Scottsdale using advanced CEREC technology, which allows us to create and place your custom crown in just one visit. These same-day ceramic crowns are strong, highly aesthetic, and precisely crafted to match the shape, color, and function of your natural tooth.
How CEREC Works
CEREC crowns are milled from a single block of high-quality ceramic, making them extremely durable and resistant to cracks and wear. However, like any dental restoration, they still require proper care. To help your crown last as long as possible, we recommend brushing twice daily, flossing once a day, wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth, and visiting us regularly for checkups.
